I have pushed every iPad Pro since Apple put a desktop-class M1 chip inside its tablet. Today, I would gladly pick the M3 iPad Air without thinking twice.

If an iPad Pro seems too expensive, or simply like overkill, which of the two new iPads should you consider? While the Air is technically superior in several ways, it's important to gauge whether its features are really worth spending an extra $250 or more before any add-ons.
